What is the legal test for requiring a certificate of probable cause?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Hurlic, 235 Cal.Rptr.3d 255, 25 Cal.App.5th 50 (Cal. App. 2018):

The question presented in this case regarding the necessity of a certificate of probable cause lies at the intersection of two lines of authority. Reconciling them is a question of law we decide de novo. ( People v. Alvarez (1996) 14 Cal.4th 155, 182, 58 Cal.Rptr.2d 385, 926 P.2d 365.)
